To Lindbergh Flying

_ Lindbergh, Lindbergh,
Where did you come from, say-
Sailing the sky in your magic boat
Along the sun's highway?
We came from home, my plane and I.
We heard a command to do or die.
Lindbergh, Lindbergh,
Where are you going, tell-
Flying up there through the icy air
In your silver cockle-shell?
We are off on the quest-we heard a story
About killing a dragon and finding glory.
Lindbergh, Lindbergh,
What do you carry along
In your frail little craft, too slight to hold
Gold, or a sword, or a song?
We carry a message from now to then,
From heart to heart of the kings of men.
Lindbergh, Lindbergh,
What is the word you will bear
To the kings and crowds when out of the clouds
You come down to a world a-stare?
We'll tell the wise that up under the sun
All men are alike and all nations one.
Lindbergh, Lindbergh,
Will youth conquer the world again?-
Bring light from the sun, and peace from the moon,
And joy to the souls of men?
We bring what we find, my plane and I,
For the earth lies low, but its hope flies high.
